Default Sticky Tires

I need to find some traction. What is the best drag radial/race tire for our cars? My car will never see rain, and I could care less about treads legal or not. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

As far as a streetable drag radial, I'd have to reccommend Mickey Thompson E/T Streets. Nice sticky tires that held up great at the track andhooked great.

sorry bud, I dont have any experience with slicks, dont have a built rear end yet. But I know if I did not care about legal issues, driving in the rain, or tread life, go with slicks, obviously they will hook better than any drag radial

you can yank the tires on et streets going 8's so no reason for a full slick

et streets either bias-ply or radial, i've used both, they hook equally well and the radials are fine in rain until you break them loose. hoosier quick time pro's are about equal to the et street, you can't hardly notice a diff, but no radials, just bias ply

full slick ? mickey or hoosier again

I will be happy with 1000 to 1500 miles of abuse. Thanks for the suggestions.
